Workers About Drinking The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanville, December 22, 1986 In an effort to reach more adults with her warnings about drunk driving, Wendy Crawford went to the Darlington Generating Station last week tospeak to the workers on this timely message. Seen here with Ms. Crawford are Joe Adam, the Health and . Safety Training Supervisor for Darlington, Rex Dil- labough, a Safety Training Technician and Training and Safety Supervisor Mike Lee. by Rob Savage "Why aren't our parents getting this information?" That's one of the principle principle questions being asked by youngsters as they learn of the dangers of drinking and driving. And it was one of the. questions that paraplegic Wendy Crawford was trying to resolve as she spoke to an audience at the Darlington Generating Station last Friday. Friday. "It's very hard to get to the adults," Ms. Crawford said, explaining that most of her talks on drinking and driving driving are delivered at schools. So in one respect, she admitted admitted the situation last Friday was 1 'sohiewhat unique. ; ' ' : Ai i " But the topic of the day certainly wasn't. Ms. Crawford Crawford has been' confined to a wheelchair as a result of an accident two years ago. The car in which she was travelling on Highway 401 pulled over to the side of F the roadway because of heavy fog. Another car, driven by someone who had been drinking, rear-ended her car. The accident resulted in a broken neck for Ms. Crawford, ending her ability ability to use her legs. It also ended a promising modelling career, as the young woman had been preparing preparing to go on assignment in Japan at the time of the collision. And the collision forced Ms. Crawford to' undergo drastic changes in her life. She told the audience that she went through the 10 phases phases which psychologists say are normal after such an incident, including a denial that her legs were paralyzed. "You never really accept it, you just learn to cope with it," she said. Some bitterness about Sat., Dec. 13 saw Kool Enterprises in the unaccustomed position of second place, playing Nichols, the first place club. The Kool players knew they siiouM be,in first and set out to prove it. Unfortunately; they got off to a slow start when Ian Knight scored, after circling the net, to get Nichols off to a 1-0 lead. Kool tied the score when Richard Smit secored from Mike Colbourne and Matt 4M SEASON'S BEST Wilh nil «oml thoughts forn holiday of.shear joy nrul unbounding love.

Cobourg 372-5445 the incident was still clearly apparent during the talk last week. Ms. Crawford made no effort effort to hide her feelings about the lenient jail terms often given to drunk drivers. drivers. And when one audience audience member suggested that some leniency might be a result of the judge's feelings feelings for the offender's family, family, Ms. Crawford challenged challenged the unfairness of the situation. "I don't mean to be harsh but what about my family and friends?" she said. "I wish I had a second chance and I don't think it's fair," she later added. She told people at the talk that one of the main problems problems with the current drunk driving convictions is that the offender never has to see his victim. She argued that all people convicted of such a crime should be taken to the hospital and see the true results oftheir actions. She also admitted that she doesn't feel any person convicted of a drinking and driving offence which harms or kills another person person should get his or her licence licence back. As for the future, Ms. Crawford said the main answer answer to the problem of drinking and driving will come when society's attitudes attitudes change. She said that most people never really think about the possible consequences until after an incident has occurred. "How many times have we seen someone leave and know they're impaired?" she asked. She said people going to parties, bars, or any celeb/ rations where they know they'll be drinking should plan their route home before before they get there. She said it's crazy to wait until you've had too much to drink to begin making plans, because you're no longer capable of thinking straight. And she insisted people realize that what happened to her could happen to anyone. anyone. "When, I was in high school I always had this false attitude that nothing would happen to me," she said. "Don't wait until it's too late before you think about it." Central Students Perform Christmas Concert The band of Central Public School demonstrated Senior Public School.

As one father commented "If it was not for bad luck around our goal we would have had no luck at all". This comment was in reference to the fact that both goals against Kool were scored by Kool players. Nichols jumped to a 1-0 lead when goalie Dave Killens attempted to trap the puck which had been passed out from the corner but the puck hit the back of his stick and deflected into the net.
